Some down, some to go......


7 Down, 1 To Go......

Last night, at midnight, was Jeremy's final day of classes for the Fall Semester. Can I get a "Hallelujah?" This semester has pretty much been like accomplishing the impossible: Jeremy has had to juggle 15 credit hours of school, working full-time, and being my relief system for the twins. Only time will tell how well he has done, but at this point we are like "Hey, we are not trying to get into graduate school here, SO passing is passing, right?" Also, can I just say that ever since UVSC has decided to become Utah Valley University, they have gone way over the top. I mean Jeremy literally had to write over 100 pages of "busy" work in just one of his 5 classes - NOT to mention a 20 page and 15 page paper. I mean really, a 20 page paper? I was an English major at BYU, and never did I have to tackle a 20 page paper. Jer is pretty funny when you bring it up and says, "All I want to do is sit in an office where people are outside swinging hammers, not become a novelist." (His major is Technology/Construction Management) Anyways, 7 semesters are now behind us, with only 1 more to go!!!


10 Down, 15 To Go......

On a little "lighter" note, Jeremy and I are in a weight loss competition (no pun intended). Pretty much, it comes down to this: We are going on a cruise in February and do not want to scare everyone in the Bahamas with our fat, white, American bodies. I won't get into my statistics (why do guys lose weight SOOOO much easier then women do?), but Jer has lost 10 pounds already! Granted he did refuse to use the bathroom for a full day and drank 4 pounds of water before our weigh in, but he does look thinner. Which brings me to the pictures.... he he he...
He is going to kill me, but here are the hilarious "before" photos:




*** PLEASE NOTE: THIS WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL PHOTO POSTED FOR THIS SECTION. JEREMY HAS REMOVED IT. IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE FEW ABLE TO SEE IT, THEN CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY (OR UNLUCKY, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT)***

I can only hope these make you laugh as hard as I do.

Keep up the good work Jer, only 15 more pounds to go...

Britni, you are an excellent writer; you could easily whip out 20-pages!

hahaha, hey Jeremy's BEFORE photos don't look that bad to US. I mean they wouldn't scare small children or anything. Can't say the same if I were to post any of Ed, who would absolutely KILL me & destroy the evidence if photo substantiation surfaced.

ps, as a general rule, men lose weight so much easier because it's mostly stored between their ears.

What happened to the sexy pics of Jeremy? That was awesome. That is an awesome goal. Good luck. Hope you are enjoying your Christmas season.

Jeremy was a poor sport and took down the photos that once were here =) Hopefully, you all saved them to your desktop!

Man, I miss out on those pics. Heard all about 'em though. So I guess we'll just have to be satisfied with his "Yucon Cornelieus" looking photo. Can't really blame you Jeremy. As vain as I've become I would never put up ANY pictures of me......before, after, or in between!
